  6. TERMS AND DEFINITIONS RISK MANAGEMENT- Risk management is a Five step process used to ID and control hazards to protect the force and increase the chance of mission accomplishment. It is a continuous on-going process that begins with the receipt of the mission and is applicable to any situation and environment.

  7. TERMS AND DEFINITIONS RISK ASSESSMENT- Risk assessment is the identification and assessment of hazards (the first 2 steps of risk management process). HAZARD- Any actual or potential condition that can cause injury, illness, or death of personnel; damage to or loss of equipment or property; or mission degradation.

  8. TERMS AND DEFINITIONS RISK The probability of exposure to injury or loss from hazard. Risk level is expressed in terms of hazard probability and severity. Two kinds of risk: - Tactical risk - Risk associated with hazards that exist because of the presence of the enemy or an adversary. - Accident risk - Includes all operational risk considerations other than tactical risk, and can include activities associated with hazards concerning friendly personnel, equipment, readiness, and environmental conditions.

  9. TERMS AND DEFINITIONS PROBABILITY- The likelihood that an event will occur. There are five degrees of probability: FrequentLikelyOccasionalSeldomUnlikely SEVERITY- The degree of injury, property damage, or other mission impairing factors. There are four degrees of severity. CatastrophicCriticalMarginalNegligible

  10. DETERMINE THE DEGREE OF PROBABILITY PROBABILITY- The likelihood that an event will occur. Determine what is the chance or likelihood of the event occurring? There are five degrees of probability: - Frequent - Occurs often, continuously experienced. - Likely - Occurs several times. - Occasional - Occurs sporadically. - Seldom - Remotely possible: could occur at some time. - Unlikely-Can assume it will not occur, but not impossible.

  11. DETERMINE THE DEGREE OF SEVERITY SEVERITY- The degree of injury, property damage, or other mission impairing factors. There are four degrees of severity. - Catastrophic - Loss of ability to accomplish the mission or mission failure. Death or permanent total disability, system loss, or major property damage. - Critical- Significantly degraded mission capability or unit readiness. Permanent partial disability, temporary total disability in excess of three months, major system damage, or significant property damage. - Marginal - Degraded mission capability or unit readiness. Minor injury, lost workday accident, minor system damage, and minor property damage. - Negligible - Little or no adverse impact on mission capability. First aid or minor medical treatment, minor system impairment.

  12. TERMS AND DEFINITIONS RISKLEVEL- Expressed in terms of hazard probability and severity. There are four levels of risk. - Extremely High Risk (E) - Loss of ability to accomplish the mission. - High (H) - Significantly degrades mission capabilities in terms of required mission standards. - Moderate (M) - Degrades mission capabilities in terms of required mission standards. - Low (L) – Little to no impact on accomplishment of mission.

  13. TERMS AND DEFINITIONS CONTROLS- Controls are actions taken to eliminate the hazard or reduce their risk. Controls may take many forms, but fall basically into three categories: - Educational Controls - These controls are based on the knowledge and skills of the units and soldiers. - Physical Controls - These controls may take the form of barriers and guards or signs to warn individuals and units that a hazard exists. - Avoidance - The control is applied by taking positive action to eliminate the presence of an identified hazard.

  14. TERMS AND DEFINITIONS RESIDUAL RISK- Residual risk is the level of risk remaining after controls have been selected for hazards (Controls are identified and selected until residual risk is at an acceptable level or it cannot be practically reduced further). RISK DECISION- The decision whether to accept or not to accept the level of residual risk

  15. RISK MANAGEMENT PRINCIPLES • Integrate risk management into mission • planning, preparation, and execution. • Make risk decisions at the appropriate level • in the chain-of-command. • 3. Accept no unnecessary risk.

  16. TROOP-LEADING PROCEDURE Step 1 - Receive the mission Step 2 - Issue a warning order Step 3 - Make a tentative plan Step 4 - Start necessary movement Step 5 - Reconnoiter Step 6 - Complete the plan Step 7 - Issue the complete order Step 8 - Supervise

  18. Assess Hazards Develop Controls Risk Management Process Identify Hazards Implement Controls Supervise & Evaluate RISK MANAGEMENT PROCESS Step 1 - Identify the hazards Step 2 - Assess the hazards Step 3 - Develop Controls and make risk decision Step 4 - Implement controls Step 5 - Supervise and evaluate

  19. RISK MANAGEMENT PROCESS • Risk Assessment • Step 1: Identify hazards • Step 2: Assess hazards • Verify Controls have been developed • Step 3: Develop controls • Step 4: Implement controls • Verification Process • Step 5: Supervise and evaluate

  20. Assess Hazards Develop Controls Risk Management Process Identify Hazards Implement Controls Supervise & Evaluate IDENTIFY RISK Step 1 - Identify Hazards: Consider all aspects of current and future situations, environment, and known historical problem areas. Use the factors of METT-T (Mission, Enemy, Terrain and Weather, Troops, and Time).

  21. Determine which hazards to Risk-Manage Adequate Q - Is hazard adequately controlled? YES NO Support - Is support available (personnel, equipment, supplies, facilities) adequate to control the hazard? Identified METT-T hazards Standards - Is guidance or procedures adequate- ly clear, practical, and specific to control hazard? Training - Is training adequate to control the hazard? Leader - Are leaders ready, willing, and able to enforce standards required to control hazard? Individual - Is soldier performance sufficiently self-disciplined to control hazard? A - If all “yes,” no further action. - If one or more “no,” risk-manage this hazard.

RISK LEVELS E (Extremely High Risk) - Loss of ability to accomplish the mission. H (High Risk) – Significantly degrades msn capabilities in terms of required msn stds. M (Moderate Risk) - Degrades msn capabilities in terms of required mission stds. L (Low Risk) - Little or no impact on accomplishment of the mission.

As control measures are developed, risks are reevaluated until all risks are reduced to an acceptable level or cannot be reduced further.

  33. SUMMARY • Terms and Definitions • Principles • Risk Management Process QUESTIONS? Practical Exercise

  34. Practical Exercise Scenario: As part of the quarterly training requirement, your unit will conduct a 12 mile cross-country foot march at the National Training Center (NTC), within a three hour time period. The weather will be hot and dry (90+ degrees). All soldiers will carry their M16A2 rifle (with blanks), protective masks, LCE and 30 pound ruck sack. Pre-combat checks will be performed 12 hrs prior to the foot march. At checkpoint Alpha you will cross an improved highway. As you approach checkpoint Bravo (halfway), you will encounter heavy dry brush. Twenty percent of your soldiers are new and have never been in the desert before. You will depart at 0600 hrs.

  38. Practical Exercise #2 Scenario: As part of a National Training Center Rotation, your Task Force(TF) has just completed a successful defensive mission. The enemy is establishing defensive positions with your TF planning a scout infiltration followed by a TF attack. You are tasked to support the TF scouts’ infiltration into the enemy sector with a retrans team. The weather will be hot and dry (90+ degrees). All soldiers will be uploaded for combat with MILES gear. You are 75% strength and this is the 8th day of the rotation. Your team must be set NLT 0300 tonight and be prepared to operate for 24-36 hours. It is 1000 hours and you are to provide a risk assessment for this operation IOT to reduce casualties.

  41. CONCLUSION Leaders must identify hazards and then implement measures to reduce or Eliminate the risks. This is how we protect the force and increase the chances of mission accomplishment.

  42. Summary The Risk Management process is an essential tool in our ability to reduce the threat to our soldiers in training operations and combat operations. Don’t be the officer required to say, “Your child/spouse/parent is dead, because I was stupid!”
